The dust is still settling on the 2012 Sea Otter Classic, the symbolic season kick-off where companies come to show off new product and racers come to ride one of the flattest DH courses in the country.
Shimano, with its latest iteration of the venerable XT component group and the introduction of a novel chain-control feature on its XTR rear derailleur, delivered one of the biggest tech stories of the weekend, but they weren't the only ones who brought new goods to show off. As we reported from the scene, Crank Brothers showed off new product categories like packs and saddles, Ibis launched the Mojo SL-R, and GT finally released a carbon version of its triple-triangle Zaskar.
We also got a look at new gold-stanchioned goodness from Fox, some DT Swiss 29er wheels and a sweet new option from Light and Motion's multi-sport line.
But Sea Otter product news was popping up everywhere—here are some highlights from around the InterWeb.
Sicklines reports that there's a new all-mountain tire from Schwalbe called the Hans Dampf, which thankfully breaks from the company's corny alliterative naming scheme (Nobby Nic, Muddy Mary, you know who you are.)
Sicklines also got the scoop on the first new Titus to come out since the company was bought by UK company On-One—a carbon 29er, of all things:
BikeRumor caught wind of Rocky's new Element 29er prototype, a 100mm travel design that looks like a pretty ripping trail bike with a tapered head tube, big wide bottom bracket and Rocky's SmoothLink suspension.
Pinkbike has a mountain of Sea Otter Coverage, ranging from cool little tech nuggets like this new stanchion bumper for dual-crown forks (designed by Brent Foes and manufactured by ODI), to the overlooked little brother of the new Hayes Prime brake: the Dyno, an entry-level disc brake with a lifetime leak-proof warranty that goes for just $80/wheel.
MTBR has a shot of a prototype 29er version of the Diamond Back Sortie, which looks to be sporting one of the new Fox 29er forks with 34-millimeter stanchions.
The boys at Bikemag got the scoop on Oakley's new FastJacket cycling specs, which are sort of like the Jawbones, minus the jaw—a plus for anyone who prefers the performance of rimless optics. Here's the elevator pitch:
For even more product geekery head over to NSMB for the latest on the new Norco lineup as well as updates from Magura, POC helmets, Five 10 and more. Below, NSMB looks at Easton's new "paycheque-killing" XC wheel.

maybe we can help u study
what is the name of dis
I've taken two other art history classes already and passed em with flying colors. This one is more taxing on the mind, though I do learn a lot from these classes, and it's good to have, I'm a graphic arts major, not studying to be an art historian.
I know the benefits of the classes I take, but I also know how much stress is manageable and what's not. Failing this class would be bad.
I know cheating isn't the answer, I know it was end-of-the-world bad. But I did it, and I had my reasons, and that's that.
I have no plans of leaving my profession any times soon. If I was looking to be an art history major or something, yea, I'd shoot myself. But I'm not, and have a typography and 2D-Design class to worry about.
maybe we can help u study
what is the name of dis
Ahhh I remember that from like the beginning of the freaking semester. That's the something something Lacoon, and his sons are like bitchplz snake.
Forgot the sculptor.
I think it's called big guy with his wang out along with some snakes too. Tho i might be wrong cuz mostly im guessing
Thanks. So at work yesterday I was workin with this guy I hadn't worked with before and I was chatting with him trying to get to know him better and he says "yeah, so I'm into hipster music, you know, stuff people haven't heard of" so I was thinkin like I listen to some weird stuff, maybe I'll know some of the bands he's into, so I ask him "oh yeah? what kind of bands do you listen to, like, give me an example" and he says "oh you know, hipster bands like tokyo police club or interpol."
Holy shit, guys... It took a lot not to just laugh in his face. Tho I did kinda.
So basically he meant indie?
Anyone who calls themselves a hipster isn't one. I get called a "accidental" hipster all the time, and frankly I think it's crap. So I am one? IDK, people make no sense when it comes to so-called hipsters.
Me and my friend spent 2 hours getting lost trying to go to a haunted house. We both live in the suburbs and the haunted house is out in the country. No problem we thought. We're just going to hit up the mall, grab some crap we had ordered in, and then go out to the place. By the time we get out there, it's 7 PM, dark as Hell, and raining, and we're in the middle of nowhere. We're having trouble finding where we need to go, and I'm in the middle of calling some friends when my phone dies. My friend think that they can use their phone's GPS to get us where we need to go, when their phone dies.
So we're driving in circles in some really creepy back roads (Hooray, vivid imaginations!) for about an hour before we finally come to a Wendy's after wandering into some real podunk town. We get some food, ask for help, and finally get directions as to where we need to go. Turns out we just needed to take a left and keep going and we'd get back home. So we go down that road and after about another 2 hours, we get into the ghetto-y part of downtown. And now we're both home.
Uggh. I'm so tired. It's only 11:20 and it feels like ... I don't even know. 5:20?

Montgomery, Alabama – Today, the Alabama Public Service Commission, voted to extend rate measures aimed at helping revitalize local economies. The incentive program, offered by Alabama Power, has been in place since April of 2011. As of August of 2012, 77 customers have taken advantage of the program and realized a savings of approximately $188,000, collectively. Due to continued interest in the incentives, the Commission encouraged Alabama Power to offer an extension of the program.
"I am thrilled to extend these incentives. Helping small businesses helps Alabama families. That's always been my number one goal. Going forward, I will continue to find ways to help folks save money on their utility bills," said President Lucy Baxley."
For small and medium size commercial customers, the Commission accepted Alabama Power's proposal to extend a one-year 15% discount for any new accounts established at a location that has been unoccupied for at least 6 months. Such new accounts must represent new electric usage and cannot include moving from one location to another. The 15% discount will be applicable to the customer's total electric usage and will be applied to the portion of a customer's bill that is not fuel or tax related. This economic incentive will be extended by one year for service agreements that begin before December 31, 2013.
PSC Commissioner Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh said, "As a small business owner most of my life, I understand that every dime saved determines whether you can expand operations, hire more employees or even keep the door open one more day. I am committed to helping business owners cut overhead costs while incentivizing them to help get Alabamians back to work."
For business customers who meet the Alabama Department of Revenue criteria for receiving Capital Investment Tax Credits, the Commission approved Alabama Power's proposal to extend a two-year discount on their base electric bill. Qualifying customers will receive a 10 percent discount in year one and a 5 percent discount in year two. The discount will not apply to fuel-related charges or taxes. In order to qualify, the customer must satisfy certain capital investment and job creation thresholds, and add new electric usage of at least 1,000 KVA. The discounts will apply only to additional electric usage and will be extended for two years for service agreements that begin before December 31, 2015.
"We are beginning to see a steady increase in the number of businesses taking advantage of these rates," Commissioner Terry Dunn said. "It has taken a while, but word is spreading now – particularly among small and midsize businesses – that the incentive rates are worth checking out." Dunn, who worked with the company for several months to design the incentive discount offering, stressed on Tuesday that the incentive tariff is good for "both sides of the deal."
"The company gets new load, rather than simply shifting load from one location to another and the customer gets a significant discount on power costs," Dunn said. "And frankly, that's what makes it smart: It is attractive to the buyer and the seller." Commissioner Dunn noted, too, that "the additional load means we are spreading fixed costs over a larger base. I'm hopeful we will keep something like this in place indefinitely."
These economic development incentives are intended to assist with the State's economic recovery and promote job creation and business.

Hi all,
After lot of calculated decision I stepped ahead to fuse ipad baseband and unlock iphone 3GS on 4.2.1 OS. my phone is freeze now at logo.
Action performed:
a) Updated unlocked iphone 3gs with 4.2.1
b) Jailbreaked with redsn0w, install cydia and ipad baseband
c) Rebooted phone in teatherd boot mode
d) Opened Cydia and installed ultrasn0w 1.2
e) Rebooted and then STUCK at apple logo
Next Step: Since nothing was happening then I tried restoring original IPSW 4.2.1 by going in DFU mode via ITUNES, it started well but later gave error 1015 (I read somewhere that it is common)
Current State: After restore failed phone is always in recovery mode.
I dont have SCSH or any file backed up.
Can I use any custom IPSW to escape?
Is there anyway I can go to 3.1.3 firmware?
I have noticed loads of post with same things but none has problem like me.
Please help.

The Alphabet of Cyber Crime from APT to Zeus
If you need to know what Cyber Crime is but you are bored and fed up with the too many information security terms, loosing yourself among the acronyms, you have stumbled upon the correct place. I have just compiled a very special alphabet which collects the terms related to Cybercrime. Forgive me for some "poetic license" and enjoy this half-serious list.
A like APT
Yes, the Advanced Persistent Threats have been the undisputed protagonists of 2011. An APT is essentially an attack carried on with different vectors, different stages and on a distributed time windows (yes, it Persistent). APT are behind the most remarkable events of 2011 such as the RSA Breach, Stuxnet, and so on…
B like Botnet
Botnet are networks of compromised machines that are used by cybercriminals to perpetrate their malicious action. Tipically a compromised machine becomes part of a botnet where the master distributes the commands from a C&C Server. Command may include the theft of information or the attack to other machines.
C like Crime-As-A-Service
The last frontier of Cybercrime: why developing costly malware if you can find a wide offer of customizable malware on the black market offering help desk and support services?
D like DLP
Data Leackage (or Lost) prevention is a suite of technologies that may help organization to counter the theft of information by preventing misuse or leak of data while they are in use at the endpoint (DIU), in transit on the network (DIM), or simply it is an aggregated Dark Matter on the corporate servers (DAR) that needs to be indexed and cataloged (and possibly classified and assessed).

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bex457 Like the color I have a galaxy note 2. The description states it fits all galaxy models but my phone doesn't fit. I am going to keep it but it also only has three card holders. The color is great - on trend but it is not as functional as I'd like for me. Would probably fit an iPhone perfectly January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoppingfun Chic and functional This is a great wristlet. Holds my iphone, cards, and money with no problem. The wristlet is made well and the tassel is a bonus. Already getting compliments on this chic little red number. January 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brig1 Thea Smartphone Wristley My daughter just loved it. Simply beautiful. Gift wrap was beautiful. January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tennismonica Beautiful and versatile The wristlet is beautiful, it is made of soft leather, accentuated with the sash charm. It holds my iPhone, coins, bills and even a lipgloss. It is perfect for a night out or when you do not need to carry a purse. I love it and am sure will use it a lot! January 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julia Perfect. I got it in porcelain pink, it's a very beautiful color, and the leather is stunning. I can fit my iPhone 5s (with a TB slim case), and still has room left for a lipstick. It works well as a clutch or wallet. I am very pleased with my purchase. December 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sesuna love it I got pink one, i love it. :) but i would like to say it would be better if it has more portions for Cards. it has only 3 for cards. it is not enough for me but like it! December 10, 2013

"Didn't take much personalization, just my name at the top. Although, you could change every single line if you wanted to. I'm just not that creative, so I left it as is. Even so, the guests loved it, and I was surprised how seriously they took it. I got some really lovely and insightful responses. I'm keeping them all and putting them in a binder for my son when he is old enough to read them."
"These look just as great as they did on the computer! Took less than 2 days to receeive my order. This was the first time I have used tinyprints, and I will def be a repeat customer!"
"I was very happy with the staff being so helpful. And, the end result was more than satisfactory. I would definitely order any future stationery needs from this website."
"These invitations were perfect for the baby shower I'm hosting! They are elegant and classy, but low-key at the same time. Shipping was fast, paper is a thin photo paper."
"Love these! They are a bit small overall, but will be a great keepsake for my daughter from our family and friends. The gray writing is soft and feminine, but since the words are rather small, my mom said it may be hard to read for some of her friends. I might choose the black ink next time to avoid this. Also, the lines where people write are a fixed length, so when we changed some of the "i hope" sentence starters, they didn't match up when printed. Great idea and I would definitely order again!"

Recombinant protein expression in bacteria is a simple, yet time-consuming process. Typically cells are grown overnight to stationary phase, diluted and grown to an optimal density, then induced. To simplify this process, we took advantage of the tight regulation of protein expression by glucose and rhamnose in the KRX strain of E. coli. We developed an autoinduction protocol that eliminates the need for culture density monitoring and a separate induction step. We describe early and late autoinduction protocols in LB medium and demonstrate autoinduced expression of three different proteins.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER � SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE � Hailed as the top nonfiction book of the year by Time magazine � Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and the Indies Choice Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year award
On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane�s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant�s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he�d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in Seabiscuit. Telling an unforgettable story of a man�s journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
Praise for Unbroken
Laura Hillenbrand is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Seabiscuit: An American Legend, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, won the Book Sense Book of the Year Award and the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, landed on more than fifteen best-of-the-year lists, and inspired the film Seabiscuit, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Hillenbrand�s New Yorker article, �A Sudden Illness,� won the 2004 National Magazine Award, and she is a two-time winner of the Eclipse Award, the highest journalistic honor in Thoroughbred racing. She and actor Gary Sinise are the co-founders of Operation International Children, a charity that provides school supplies to children through American troops. She lives in Washington, D.C.
A really great read of an actual account. Difficult to put it down. Well worth getting.
This is by far, the best book I have ever read. It is heartwrenching to me to read, hear, and see what our men and women went through during their service to our country. It's an absolute miracle for this man to come out of what he went through with a heart of forgivness the way he has. If you love history, this is a must read!!!!!
A friend recommended this book to me. My husband read it first and loved it. Then I just read it here in the Outer banks of NC on vacation. I stayed up until 2 last night and finshed it this afternoon. I was riveted. It is a fascinating book. As a child I read all of the biographies in the library. This tops almost all of them. You HAVE to read this book. It helped my understandign of war and the impact it can have on soliders and thier families. I have a renewed appreciation for the perils they suffer. Louie Z is an amazing man who had the resolve to survive in unbelievable circumstances. You MUST read this great book! I am sure you will love it!Please note is is not for the faint of heart, God bless!
This was a compelling read. Although reading about the torture in the POW camps was difficult, I was able to get through it knowing that the author is still alive, at the age of 94, and still giving motivational speeches at events. My daughter's high school assigned this book to the entire student body, their parents and the teachers and staff as a summer reading assignment.
This is an wonderful book about a professional athlete who goes to war and survives inhuman conditions as a POW. I purchased this book for my mother. Be careful to order the English version as I ordered the Spanish version by mistake. Overstock was great and took the book back without a problem. They didn't charge me shipping either. Thanks Overstock!

I met this girl
She looked like Axl Rose
Got drunk and took her home
and we slept in our clothes
And in the morning
put my feet on the floor and thought
'Being awake
Never felt like this before'
And Julianne
you know she wouldn't approve
Talked all day on the phone
'cause I had nothing to do
Got rid of Axl by the afternoon
Being awake
Never felt so clear and
That's all I knew
Guess that I was innocent too
I sing a song, yeah,
And it won't be the blues
'Cause I don't miss Julianne
My friend she told me
she felt sorry for me
She said the truth would come
crashing down on me
down on me
That I'd be sorry
but the truth of it is
That I feel guilty
for not giving a shit
I got my bag of trash
I got my bag of trash
I walk it up and down,
And drag it up and down the road
How could she miss a man
Who drags a bag of trash
Down the road?
This week I feel
Like I been born again
You know that Julianne
She would have a fit
She'd find a reason
For the things that I did
And gave me credit
For the things that I never did

In the Crimson Tide's 49-42 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday, the rule almost cost the Tide one of its best defensive players when safety HaHa Clinton-Dix was flagged for targeting Aggies wide receiver Derel Walker and ejected early in the second quarter.
Upon further review, officials overturned the ejection, but by rule, the penalty flag can not be reviewed and the 15-yard personal foul penalty stood. During his Monday news conference, Saban implied he wanted that part of the rule changed.
"Personally, on the rule itself, if you can review a play to say a guy should be ejected or not be ejected, to me, you should be able to review if it was a penalty or not a penalty," he said. "That's not what the rule is. You asked me my opinion. I'm giving you my opinion."
Despite Clinton-Dix's near-ejection, Tide safety Vinnie Sunseri said it won't make him play tentatively.
"No, sir. I go 110 miles per hour every single play," Sunseri said. "Whenever the ball's in the air I just try to go attack it. If I hit somebody I'm going to try and make sure it's within the rules. That's what we're trying to do."
INJURY UPDATE: Saban provided a brief update on some of the Crimson Tide's injured stars Monday. Wide receiver Kevin Norwood, right guard Anthony Steen and cornerback Deion Belue all went down during the Tide's victory over Texas A&M on Saturday.
"Deion's going to be day-to-day and probably questionable," Saban said. "Kevin Norwood is day to day and probably questionable. Steen is day-to-day but very probable that he'll be back in a day or whatever."
Norwood left the game in third quarter and did not return. He was injured while run blocking for Kenyan Drake.
Steen went down in the fourth quarter. Fifth-year Kellen Williams replaced him on the Tide's last touchdown drive.
Belue was hurt in the second quarter. Saban said Belue hurt his toes and probably has turf toe following the game. Saban did not reveal the nature of the injuries to Norwood and Steen.
YELDON'S STATEMENT: In a prepared statement, Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon apologized for the unsportsmanlike penalty he received in the Crimson Tide's win at Texas A&M.
"I want to apologize to everyone for my selfish actions on Saturday," Yeldon said in a statement released through the school's athletics communications office. "That is not the way I want to represent myself, my family and our team. That is not the way we do things at Alabama. This is something that I will learn from, and I will use better judgment in the future."
Yeldon scored a four-yard touchdown near the end of the second quarter to cap an 11-play, 93-yard drive.
After the play, Yeldon made the "money" gesture Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel does after big plays and then made a double throat-slashing gesture.
The play pushed the Tide back 15 yards for its ensuing kickoff, but didn't affect the touchdown.
"That's not us," Saban said following the game. "That's not our program. That's not what we do. We've never ever tolerated and we've never ever had it. I don't think there's any place for it in college football. I can't control what other people do, but I can control what our guys do."
GENO SMITH: Sophomore cornerback Geno Smith saw limited action Saturday after being suspended for the season opener. Smith was replaced by Jarrick Williams, who had the deflection that set up Vinnie Sunseri's 73-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Saban said Smith has to earn his spot.
"Geno's got to beat somebody out. He lost his job," Saban said. "Jarrick has played really well. So, I mean, nobody has a rite of passage here just because you played in two games last year, 'I'm guaranteed my job.' If you do the right things and you play well, nobody gets your job."

Wayne and Linda Gay see vines and wines as a way to grow Johnson County economy
By Max Hrenda
When Wayne and Linda Gay retired to Butler from Oxford, Fla., all they wanted was to adorn their Italian-style home with a few grapevines to create an authentic Italian look.
"We figured a few grapevines would look nice around the house," Wayne Gay said. "Then it, literally, got carried away."
Almost 10 years – and 3,500 grape vines – later, the Gays are close to becoming a household name in Northeast Tennessee.
The Watauga Lake Winery on Thursday officially opened its season, and its winery, for public viewing … and consumption.
"We're the first farm winery in Johnson County," Linda Gay said. "We started our vineyard eight years ago, and we have 10 varieties of grapes, five reds and five whites."
Although the Gays are now the first – and only – wine supplier in Johnson County, this, ultimately, was not their goal.
"We think of it more as an entertainment center," Linda Gay said. "We host weddings, family reunions, anniversary parties. We also have cooking classes here."
Versatility was one of the main features the Gays chose to focus on when they originally decided to build the winery. What may have been their primary motivation, however, is celebrating the community in which they live.
"Having lived here 10 years now, we were constantly going away to go to things like this," Linda Gay said. "We would go to other wineries that hosted dinners or special events, and we were constantly leaving our area. Our thought was, why not keep tourism dollars in our area?"
Apparently, those tourism dollars can add up. Wayne Gay recalled a study conducted by the Tennessee Winegrowers Association about the positive impact on a local economy from wineries.

What is a magnetic loop antenna?
Child and Radio 1925 Franz Fiedler (1885-1956)
I will try to explain in few words how the small magnetic loop antenna works.
1) The magnetic loop antenna is an RF transformer. The primary is the small inner loop that is 1/5 of the size of the main loop.
The secondary is the main loop, and is the actual antenna. This outer conductor is closed by a variable tuning capacitor. The two loops are isolated, with no electrical contact between the inner loop and the outer loop.
2) The magnetic loop antenna is a high Q device, so the band width is very narrow. Even minor frequency changes will require the user to retune the antenna, but in exchange the antenna provides superior rejection of unwanted signal reception, the best receiving gain and the lowest SWR in transmit.
3) The magnetic loop antenna can be used for either vertical or horizontal polarization, and the small size makes it easy to alternate between the two.
4) In most radio activities we use the loop in the vertical position -- providing HORIZONTAL polarization -- supported by a small pole. The antenna can be turned freely in both directions to minimize or even completely eliminate man made noise coming from other directions. This position provides a "figure 8" radiation pattern similar to larger dipole antennas.
For condo windows, hotel balconies and other space-limited locations, we use the loop in the horizontal position, which (of course) gives vertical polarization and an omnidirectional radiating pattern.
5) The small magnetic loop works perfectly at low heights. A one meter diameter loop works perfectly one meter above the soil.
6) The small magnetic loop doesnt need counterpoises, making it ideal for temporary operating locations, or for situations in which there is no room available for counterpoise wires.

Is this Umar the same as Umayr bin 'Adiy l-Khatmi? Because in the story I just posted, he killed a woman and her unborn child because she questioned Muhammed in a poem.
I don't know if its the same guy because the spelling is a bit different.
Also, want to say that I'm wondering if I should leave this thread be since I've pretty much said my piece. I'm interested in all your replies, but I feel kind of yucky every time I post because while I don't know you mamas in real life I'm guessing you are very similar in belief to my dear Palestinian friend who I respect deeply. I don't mention all these things to call you out or anything, but merely because of what I stated before about how I feel its important that these stories are brought to light as I feel it impacts our world today. But not because I want to make anyone feel insulted or hurt about their beliefs. Its a fine line to walk. I'm just fairly convinced that regardless, criticism of one's faith is usually taken as hurtful. Does that make sense? Not sure how to keep it from being that.
First of all, thank you for your sensitivity. You are right, it is a fine line, and I wont tell you that it does not stir up some emotion when the things you love seem to be attacked. At the same time i am happy that you voice you concern and ask questions- I just ask that you do so with an open mind and with the intention of understanding. At some point we must agree to disagree, but for now, I do want to give you an honest answer to the questions you ask and the concerns that you have.
I think that too many times as Muslims we feel like we need to apologize for our beliefs. There are some things in Islam that one could look at and say "that is not peaceful"... and especially when taken out of context. The US called for Saddam Hussein to be hung- that is not "peaceful", but nobody objects to it because we see the whole picture and we see the way he oppressed his people. Nobody mourns the death of Hitler- despite the fact that murder is not "peaceful", he himself was not a peaceful man, and society as a whole was better without him. I dont know that these are the best examples, but the point that i am trying to make is that things need to be taken in context.
Like I said before, nowhere in Islamic history did the Muslims ever run around just killing people because they were non-Muslim. It was never understood this way. The places in the Qu'ran that talk about the killing of infedels is refering to a very specific group of people who were not killed because they were non-Muslim, but they were brutalizing, torturing, beating, burning and oppressing the Muslims. I believe that the Muslims who are viewed as terrorists are not trying to irraticate all non-Muslims from the face of the Earth, but rather to fight against what they believe is unjust foriegn policy. Islam does not allow the killing of women, children and non-combatants, so obviously the acts of 9-11 were not condoned by Islam. As a matter of fact, when the Muslims went to fight in one of the most major battles (the battle of Badr), the prophet even forbade them from tromping over the ant hills.
I do want to acknowledge something that i am sure you will disagree with...
Islam does teach that under Islamic rule, there are 3 choices:
1.to accept Islam
2.to remain practicing your OWN non-Islamic faith, but pay a tax to the government (called jiziyah)
I will point out that the jiziyah is LESS than what the Muslims are required to pay of Zakat (manditory charity).
Also, in reading your previous posts, I see you have had some expirience with what many mistake as "Muslim" culture. The fact is that there is NOWHERE in Islamic text that condone "honor killings"... the fact that this is practiced in some parts of the world where Muslims reside only attests to the fact that many Muslims are iggnorant of their own religion. Islam does consider adultery to be a crime punishable by death under the condition that there were 4 witnesses to the act. This is because of the tradgic effects adultery had on children and familys so the death penalty for such act is suppossed to act as a deterant.
The cases you mentioned that the girls were killed because they did not want to marry the person the parents arranged, is exact OPPOSITE of what Islam teaches. Women in Islam have the right to refuse marriage to anyone and for any reason. A marriage without the consent of the girl is considered to be an invalid marriage. In fact, this is one of the practices that Islam abolished (the giving away of women to whoever the parents wanted). Islam required that the permission of the women be given. The fact that the practice of honor killings are done is aweful but has nothing to do with Islam just because it is done by Muslims.
Also, you said something about men throwing you out of a place because you were a woman. Please read about the time of the prophet Muhammad and you will not find a time that a women was ever thrown out or disrespected in this way. In fact, women would often come and ask questions, make complaints, etc. They were free members of society. The solution to these problems is not to steer people away from Islam, but rather to educate Muslim who are tainted by their own non-Islamic cultures, on their own religion.
You mentioned that the area in which you lived was full of Turkish women who would lift their sons to look outside but they themselves were not allowed to. Again, nowhere will you find this in islamic doctrine. Women were allowed to go about their lives freely. I have never met a Muslim, of any sort, who was not allowed to go outside , much less look out her window. Seems absurd.
You asked if Umar and Umayr were the same people- no they are not. I am talking about a man by the name of Umar bin al-Khattab. But the point of the story was to demonstrate that what many think of as an oppresive wife beating religion is not that at all.
You also asked if men were stronger than women, why would he beat her lightly?... i do not believe that a "strong" man would! Which is why the prophet Muhammad and his companions never beat their wives. Please produce for me ONE story in which the prophet or his companions ever beat their wives. it never happened.
In regards to "obidience"- this is not in regards to the husbands wishes, but rather in regards to religious teachings. As Muslim women, we are not required to "obey" our husbands every command, but we are required to obey and submit to the teachings of islam (which includes prayer, fasting, giving charity, etc.) The husband is the head of the home and it is responsibility to see that the family is in the best spiritual condition. No, it does not mean beat her if she does not pray, etc... i am just pointing out that this "obidience" is often misunderstood as obidience to the husbands every wish and this is not the case.
I had a friend- non Muslim- she had a rough life. She got married and had a son. For some reason, she resented this child and would often say to his face how much she hated him. Her husband was an extremely patient man and loved her and his son very much but he hated the way she acted towards the boy. He tried everything to get her to change her attitude, counsling, whatever... nothing worked. One day in a big fight he grabbed her arm very hard and spoke right in her face. he told her never to mistreat the son again. She herself told me this is what changed her. I dont know why... but this is what I think of when I hear this verse in Qu'ran. Islamically, it is not allowed to hit ANYONE in the face and it is not allowed to ever leave a mark on a person. In my opinion, if you dont leave a mark its not really a "beating"... this is the only thing I think of to understand what it might be talking about, but again, not something that was ever practiced by Muhammad or his companions, or by any Muslim i have ever known - and our group of friends are very religious and conservative.
You asked if a Muslim can choose a life other than complete obedience and dependency. The answer is 1. she is not required to be completely obedient
and 2. she is free to do as she wishes in regards to work and education. The first wife of Muhammad was a business women and as a matter of fact HE worked for HER. Aisha was an Islamic scholar. Fatima was a mother and teacher. Muslim women are encouraged to be educated as we see by the examples of the women in the time of Muhammad, but their money is theirs and they are not required to use it for their own necessities. If they choose to, that is also their decision.
There are MANYYYY beautiful stories about the prophet and his wives and his kindness towards non-Muslims. I will gather them and post them in the next day. We named our son Muhammad because when I first started reading about the prophet i fell in love with his character. I hoped my son would have the same character as him. I am excited to share these stories with you so stay tuned
I am sure i missed a question somewhere, so let me know and I will answer it. My little one is sleeping and it is 1:30am here so i must go now.
For what it is worth, we are very practicing Muslims with strong beliefs. You may not agree with all of them, and we may not agree with all of yours, but we are a good family, we love each other, I have a great hubby who is my best friend in the world, and son who we both love to pieces... my hubby and i are BOTH educated. We have the same every day challenges as everyone else... and it make me sad that so many people label our family because my husband looks like some of the "bad guys" you see on TV with his long beard and me with my head scarf. I am just so tired of having to prove to people that I am NOT oppressed and that i CHOOSE this way of live and LOVE IT! I feel like if someone were to spend one day in my shoes, they would see that I am quite happy, my hubby is soft hearted and our friends are good people. Islam IS the fastest growing religion in the world, and I know that people would not be running to a religion that oppressed women and encouraged the killing of innocent people... I give people more credit than that! Dont you think that if so many people are becoming Muslim but you still view it as oppressive, that maybe YOU are missing something? Just a thought.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer Screening Modalities
It is unknown whether the increase in cancer detection confers a mortality benefit given the large increase in false-positive rates, and the possibility of overdiagnosis. All of the published studies are observational studies, and none of the published studies have assessed whether patient outcomes (including morbidity, survival, or mortality) are improved when women are screened with breast MRI.[79] It is likely that MRI screening may lead to overdiagnosis (i.e., the detection of lesions that would remain asymptomatic in the absence of screening).
Therefore the clinical role of MRI in breast imaging for average-risk women is still generally reserved for diagnostic evaluation, including evaluating the integrity of silicone breast implants, assessing palpable masses following surgery or radiation therapy, and detecting mammographically and sonographically occult breast cancer in patients with axillary nodal metastasis and preoperative planning for some patients with known breast cancer. The role of MRI in screening high-risk women or very high-risk women (such as BRCA1/2 carriers) remains uncertain. There is no clear evidence of a mortality benefit among these women, yet the very high burden of breast cancer, and attendant anxiety, has led to MRI screening among these women due to its high sensitivity for cancer detection at the cost of low specificity.
Studies of screening MRI in women of high genetic risk are ongoing.
Scintimammography, using technetium-99m sestamibi or technetium-99m tetrofosmin, scans the axilla and supraclavicular region while simultaneously imaging the breast tissue. In staging women with a known breast cancer, the contralateral arm is injected with the radionuclide, and lateral and anterior projections are imaged with a gamma camera, with both arms raised. The theoretical advantage of this technology is the potential to obtain staging information, but only small clinical series have been described.
Tissue Sampling (Fine-Needle Aspiration, Nipple Aspirate, Ductal Lavage)
Random periareolar fine-needle aspirates were performed in 480 women at high risk for breast cancer, and the women were followed for a median of 45 months.[80] Twenty women developed breast neoplasms (13 invasive and 7 DCIS). Using multiple logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analysis, a diagnosis of hyperplasia with atypia was found to be associated with the subsequent development of breast cancer.
Nipple aspirate fluid cytology was studied in 2,701 women who were followed for subsequent incidence of breast cancer, with an average of 12.7 years of follow-up.[81] Breast cancer incidence overall was 4.4%, including 11 cases of DCIS and 93 of invasive cancer, and was associated with abnormal nipple aspirate fluid cytology. Whereas the breast neoplasm rate was only 2.6% for 352 women in whom no fluid could be aspirated, it was 5.5% for 327 women with epithelial hyperplasia and 10.3% for 58 women with atypical hyperplasia.

Reviews for Gingerbread Spice Jelly(5)
Sort By :
I used a pumpkin spice tea because I could not find gingerbread tea and it turned out so good! Even my mother-in-law loved it, and she makes the best jam I've ever had from her extensive garden. I can't wait to try this with a wide variety of teas! I agree with others that it was very sweet, but that also helps me eat a smaller serving and keep better tabs on portion control ;)
I have a smoothtop stove. Can I use a canner on that type of cooktop? If so, what kind?
I first tried this with sugar plum spice tea and it was really good. It made excellent Christmas gifts in small jars.
I couldn't find the exact tea called for in the recipe, so subbed a Ginger Lemon tea. It turned out very well, although next time I make it I will use a low-sugar Pectin. This jelly is beautiful and set up well, but is VERY sweet as written. Still, packaged in 4 oz jelly jars it is a very cute addition to my homemade holiday gifts this year.
This is christmas in teensy jars for gift giving!
i used no sugar pectin(all i had) and took the sugar down to 1.5 cups. if you like ginger snaps this is a different twist. no problems with setting up.. made no other alterations.

"If I Did it again I would buy the heavier card stock. It's a lovely card and the proof, review and customer service were fantastic. Great value for the price."
"This came out great for me, good quality paper and magnet. Sticks to the fridge very good. Arrived almost a week ahead of schedule. Images were a little smaller in person than anticipated, but they were to scale with the rest of the card, so it looked fine. Mailed out with only one stamp-- i was a little worried because they seemed a bit heavier than a normal envelope weight. I wish that would have been included in the description. Note that your pricing adds up correctly, I got a call a few days after the order was placed that I was under-charged by $15, ha! Overall however, I was very pleased with the outcome, I've gotten a lot of comments from friends/family on how nice my STD was!"
"We loved how our Save the Date turned out. It was exactly what we wanted, and very reasonable in terms of price. I would absolutely recommend using Wedding Paper Divas."
"Great color and thats because we opted for the basic matte finish. The texture of the card is just lovely. Overall, very impressed. I know the recipients of our cards will be too."
"I used this layout for our save the dates and we absolutely love them!! They came out better than we expected, thank you so much wedding paper divas! We are one happy couple over here :) Highly recommend this layout and company to order from."

The real question is whether people actually react to the sirens, or does it become a case of "crying wolf too often" when the sirens go off but the tornado does not happen. InJoplin MO, the sirens seemed to be an indication that people should go out on their front porch with a can of beer, and see what happens, if anything.

Little Giants Make it 5 Straight Winsby Howard Hewitt • November 16, 2013

- The two Presidents smile for the camera.
- The two schools have lots of competition all week. The Wabash community out-raised DePauw for Muffy/United Way by a big margin, $8,264.95 to $3,900 - or about the same margin as the football game.
- Student Senate VP Seton Goddard, Prez Jeremy Wentzel, APO President Corey Egler, and Muffy Executive Director David Johnson.
- Saturday started and ended cold but it was a beautiful day in the middle quarters.
- The Little Giants celebrate five straight years of holding the Bell.
- The game is over, the crowd is gone --- the Monon Bell is headed home.
There is no better tonic for a disappointing loss than a win in the Monon Bell Classic. The Little Giants lost an automatic NCAA playoff berth last week but Saturday claimed that old railroad Bell for the fifth straight year with a 38-21 win.
"Obviously, this game is critical," said Coach Erik Raeburn "All losses are devastating but a loss in the Bell game is 10 times worse. I'm happy for our players, our students and our fans. This is important to everybody, particularly for our seniors to be able to say they graduated with a 4-0 record. Students can say they got to celebrate four victories in the Bell game and that is an important thing."
Read how alumni appreciate Monon Bell wins.
The Little Giants (9-1) returned to recognizable form from the game's first snap. DePauw (4-6) couldn't gain a yard in three attempts and had to punt the ball away. Wabash rolled out a little razzle-dazzle with quarterback Michael Putko handing the ball off to receiver Drake Christen who then tossed the ball to Sean Hildebrand running the opposite direction. The senior wide receiver waltzed into the end zone thanks to a nifty quarterback block, 7-0.
But the Little Giants were far from done in the first quarter. On their next possession Jon Laird beat the Tiger secondary deep and was hit on a wide-open 64-yard scoring pass. Hildebrand did it again with a 26-yard catch just before the first period ended.
The dominant defense and quick strike offense gave Wabash complete control from the start.
"They were playing extremely aggressive and were jumping on the shorter routes," Quarterback Putko said. "We were able to throw behind them. (On the Laird score) I bought myself a little more time, the safety came up and Jon just snuck right in behind him."
Raeburn was really pleased with his sophomore quarterback's play. "Getting the passing game going in that first half was critical," Raeburn, now 5-1 in Bell contests, said. "We expected them to try to get as many guys in the box to stop the run as possible. But when you do that there is a lot of field for those guys in the box to cover. We were able to get some guys loose a couple of times and get receivers behind them. Michael did a great job finding them today. I thought he played his best game today."
Putko was 21-of-29 for three touchdowns and 296 yards. The primary recipient was Hildebrand with 10 big Bell catches for 125 yards.
"Last week was a big disappointment and it kind of channeled over to practice," Putko said. "But all week long we tried to focus on the next game. That was our motto all season. We're lucky to have such a huge game after last week to redeem ourselves. It's extremely important to me. My goal here is to go 3-0 as a starter and win the Bell. It's carrying on the tradition. I don't want to be the one to let it go."
Read about Hildebrand and Laird's big day..
The first quarter set the pace then the Little Giants piled on to start the second. James Kraus caught a 13-yard Putko pass and the fans were rocking with Wabash up 28-0. DePauw got its first score of the game midway through the second period on a Matt Hunt to Barry Flynn connection for four yards.
But the Little Giants responded before halftime with a 1-yard Grant Klembara plunge, 35-1.
The tempo slowed in the second half. J.D. Robinson caught 6- and 38-yard Hunt passes for scores, wrapped around an Ian MacDougall 43-yard field goal.
Wabash notched 27 first downs to the Tigers' 11. The Little Giants had 170 yards rushing to DePauw's 58. Putko's 296 passing yards nearly doubled Hunt's 172. Wabash had 466 yards of total offense to DePauw's 230.
"I think we shot ourselves in the foot a lot last week," said offensive lineman Nathan Brock. "In this first half we came out and did what we usually do. In the second half, it wasn't always pretty but we got the Bell for 365 days baby."
Cody Buresh had another big day in an opponent's backfield. He recorded seven tackles, a sack, and four tackles for loss. Eddie Cmehil and Nate Scola had six stops each. A.J. Akinribade added five stops
"We wanted to go out and redeem ourselves for what happened last week," Akinribade said. "We came out here and let all our frustrations out. We moved on during the week and focused all our attention on DePauw because this is bigger than a football game."

Medical Xpress (11.13.12)
Aids Weekly Plus
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine concluded that improving HPV vaccination rates in African-American women may require culturally sensitive approaches that address ethnic barriers. In the United States, African-American women have higher rates of cervical cancer and lower rates of HPV vaccination than white women, and Haitian women may be a particularly vulnerable subgroup. Certain strains of the sexually transmitted infection human papillomavirus (HPV) are known to cause cervical cancer. However, there are now vaccinations to prevent HPV infections.
In this study, researchers led by Natalie Pierre-Joseph, MD, and Rebecca Perkins, MD, of the Women's Health Interdisciplinary Research Center at the Boston University School of Medicine investigated similarities and differences in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices toward the HPV vaccine and compared vaccination rates among African-American and Haitian women and their daughters. The researchers surveyed the participants and assessed their HPV knowledge, using measures including perceived susceptibility to HPV, severity of cultural barriers, and trust in physicians. The research team compared survey responses with medical records to determine vaccination rates.
Results showed that both groups of subjects had high levels of trust in their physician, and almost 75 percent would vaccinate their daughters at the physician's recommendation. However, up to 12 months after the study, fewer than half of the participants' daughters were vaccinated. Pierre-Joseph stated that the study demonstrates an important public health issue in the lower use of the HPV vaccine by racial/ethnic minorities compared to white women in the United States. She also suggested that the study emphasizes the importance of addressing the heterogeneity of the African-American population and adapting prevention programs for specific subgroups.
